Pilgrims of Hope toward Advent’s promise—Your gift does a world of good!
And this year, your gift goes twice as far.
As we approach the end of the 2025 Jubilee Year, themed “Pilgrims of Hope” by Pope Francis, let us reflect on his words, “We must fan the flame of hope that has been given us, and help everyone to gain new strength and certainty by looking to the future with an open spirit, a trusting heart, and far-sighted vision.”
As we enter Advent, we walk as Pilgrims of Hope—not with a hope that is merely a feeling, but with a hope that chooses compassion, seeks justice, and takes action.
Hope becomes real when it reaches another person.
Hope becomes visible when love changes a life.
This Giving Tuesday (Dec. 2) to year-end, your gift becomes hope in action.
And thanks to generous donors, it also becomes twice the impact through a 1:1 match—up to $100,000.
Your $50 becomes $100.
Your $100 becomes $200.
Thank you for including Maryknoll Lay Missioners in your generosity during this season of giving.
Your Advent gift becomes a light in the world—and this year, that light shines twice as bright.
Please GIVE NOW to double your impact and carry Advent’s promise to communities in need of your help.
